People who lack creativity latch onto ANY and EVERY trend - what's the big surprise here? There are a lot of producers with off-time drums that are currently releasing good shit, and even more who aren't releasing good shit. That's the way it is in every genre of music, especially in hip-hop now that the beat production process is so affordable and user-friendly. There's no point in hating on people who take the path of least resistance - just do your own thing the best way you see fit.
